Chapter 229 I No Longer Object
old house.
The house, which had been deserted for half a year, finally became lively again.
Although the old lady was sitting in the backyard, her eyes were fixed on the front hall. Seeing the busy figures in the front hall, a faint joy involuntarily rose in her heart.
Zhou Chunsheng walked to the backyard with a cup of herbal tea and asked the old lady, "Mom, is it quiet living here alone? Do you want to find a few more people to take care of the yard?"
The old lady: "No, it's fine."
Zhou Chunsheng sat down next to his mother: "I remember that the day we moved to the old house was not this day, did you remember it wrong?"
My mother suddenly called and asked everyone, big and small, to come over, saying that it was the 40th anniversary of the move to the old house and that she wanted to have a small celebration.
"Don't worry about whether I remember it correctly or not. Just call Yong'an over here, and Xiaowen too, and ask her where she is," said the old lady.
Zhou Chunsheng looked at his mother deeply, as if he understood something. Seeing that the old lady was not very comfortable, he simply asked no questions.
Li Qingwen had rejected Aunt Lan's invitation yesterday, knowing very well that the Zhou family's current happy event had nothing to do with her. She was just an outsider in their family gathering and could not join in the fun.
But after hearing her refusal, the old lady snatched the phone and said, "Then come over and take your things."
Li Qingwen: "My things have been taken here before, no..."
"Radio, I know it was you who gave it to me, come and take it." The old lady was very straightforward and her words were not soft at all.
Li Qingwen felt a chill in his heart: "...Then I'll come over at three in the afternoon."
Old lady: "Ten o'clock in the morning."
It was already past ten o'clock, but Li Qingwen had not arrived yet.
The old lady couldn't help but wonder if she was having a tantrum and if she really intended to come back at three in the afternoon.
Zhou Chunsheng walked to the front hall and told Luo Zijin, who smiled happily, "Really? Mom really called Qingwen, so is that..."
The second son can remarry.
Zhou Chunsheng felt that this was what his mother meant, but with so many things having happened, no one could say for sure whether the two children still had that intention.
"Call Qingwen and I'll ask where Yongan is."
Luo Zijin made the phone call happily. As soon as the call was connected, the sound of a car engine was heard at the door.
It was the first time that Li Qingwen came empty-handed. She thought that only the old lady was there and that even if she brought a gift, the old lady would not accept it, so she simply came empty-handed.
But she didn't expect to see several cars parked in front of the old house when she parked. Just as she was wondering, she saw Aunt Luo's call.
While she was on the call, she got out of the car and walked towards the house, and then she saw that everyone in the Zhou family was there, except Zhou Yongan.
Luo Zijin enthusiastically took Li Qingwen's arm and led her into the house, saying, "I have been practicing for subject three for half a month. It's all my fault that I am too stupid. The coach has a quota and doesn't dare to let me take the test."
Li Qingwen: "Then you will be able to get your driver's license soon. Congratulations, Aunt Luo."
Luo Zijin was very excited when practicing driving, but unfortunately not many people could share this joy, not even his partner Zhou Chunsheng understood.
In Zhou Chunsheng's opinion, Luo Zijin's behavior was purely for fun as she had nothing to do after eating. If she wanted to go out, there was no need for her to drive herself as her family had drivers.
After Li Qingwen entered the house, he smelled the aroma of mung bean and large intestine soup coming from the living room.
Zhou Chunsheng just hung up the phone and saw her and said, "Yongan will come over later."
Li Qingwen: “?”
Did she ask?
Zhou Xixiang was sitting on the sofa, feeding peanuts to his calico cat out of boredom. When he saw her, he habitually started talking about work: "Xiao Wen, please send the documents for the Longxing project of Weiye Group directly to my office later."
Li Qingwen was surprised and said, "But I took a quick look and found that the collateral they provided was not enough to lend so much money. There is also a great risk. I am prepared to let -"
Zhou Xixiang seemed to understand and interrupted, "I'll talk to Mr. Gu directly later."
Li Qingwen: "Understood."
After saying this, Li Qingwen stood in the living room and had a strange feeling - didn't anyone think it was incongruous that she suddenly appeared here?
Why didn't anyone ask her what she was doing here?
So she could only take the initiative to ask Xiaohua: "Where is the old lady?"
Xiaohua pointed to the backyard.
Li Qingwen walked straight to the backyard. She planned to take the radio and leave. In fact, the thing was not worth much. She wanted to say on the phone yesterday that she didn't want it and could throw it away, but after thinking about it, she couldn't say such rude words.
I didn't expect that there would be so many people coming to the house today. When Li Qingwen went to the backyard, she subconsciously wondered how the old lady was going to embarrass her again.
Aunt Lan reminded the old lady that someone was coming.
The old lady opened her eyes and looked at her: "Didn't we agree on ten o'clock?"
Li Qingwen: "I saw my car was out of gas on the way, so I went to a gas station."
That wouldn't delay her for less than half an hour, and the old lady knew clearly that there was no need for her to listen to her anymore.
Without asking any more questions, she waved to Aunt Lan to get the radio.
Li Qingwen stood in the yard and waited.
She had nothing to say to the old lady.
The wind blowing in from outside the courtyard wall lifted up Li Qingwen's skirt and hair. The simple casual dress made her look full of girlishness.
"If you and Yong'an still want to be together, I no longer object." The old lady said quietly.
Li Qingwen turned sideways in surprise and looked at the old lady.
She rejected it very clearly: "No, I don't want to be together."
The old lady was stunned, looking at Li Qingwen in disbelief, not quite understanding: "You refused to divorce at all costs... How come you changed your mind so quickly?"
When you get divorced, you feel reluctant and unwilling.
But as time goes by, some emotions have to be let go.
Li Qingwen did not answer her. Whether he had changed his mind or not, there was nothing to discuss with her.
Aunt Lan took out the radio, turned it on and tried the functions. It made a clicking sound and one of the antennas was broken.
Aunt Lan: "This one is broken. The old lady said it would be nice if we could have a new one."
Li Qingwen glanced at the old lady and said, "If it's broken, why not just throw it away? There's no use for me if you give it back to me."
Why should she go all the way here?
Aunt Lan: "I mainly hope that Xiaowen can buy another one of the same kind."
Li Qingwen didn't understand what they were thinking: "Wouldn't it be better to let my family place the order online?"
As an outsider, she has no obligation to do these tasks now.
Aunt Lan smiled and said, "They didn't buy this model. If the functions were different, I wouldn't be able to use it, so I'd better trouble you to place an order, Xiaowen."
Li Qingwen: "Okay, I'll place the order later. Aunt Lan, please keep an eye out for the courier at the door in a couple of days."
Aunt Lan: "Okay."
Li Qingwen took the broken radio and left. The old lady's voice came from behind him: "Have lunch before leaving. Xiaolan, go and see if the mung bean soup is ready to drink."
